Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Above and beyond Doctor
The care and service you will receive, is revealed as soon as you set foot on the office. The staff greets with kindness, and check on you every 3 minutes during the short wait. Once you are checked in, more dedicated, caring nurses and personel guides you and talk about the reason for visit, on a high note, all of them know why you are there, and offer to answer questions or detailed explanation.The Doctor arrives promptly, quicly diagnoses, and explains in very detail what is the suggested treatment. This is an extraordinary office in all aspects, from the administrative to the Doctor, all in unison work hard and with efficiency, not just to treat you, but to make you feel important.I'm writting this review because I am surprised by the visit, and how perfect is the service. Outstanding.

Very personable Doctor!
Dr. McCloskey was very personable and was able to talk my daughter through her procedure. She was super nervous but he was able to make her laugh to take her mind off of what he was doing. He was fast and efficient! Thank you for making this appointment an easy one

Good and bad, more bad lately.
Long time patient here. Really appreciate Dr McCloskey's diligence in explaining his actions and further care. The front desk staff has kept me waiting more than 30 minutes per visit several in the past year. Never had the problem until he moved to the new location. Even though I have told the front desk that I had been waiting an excessive amount of time, nothing was done expect to blame the staff in the back.

Great experience considering I was having an ingrown toenail removed. Dr Mc called me back to the exam room personally. Helped me finish my paperwork. Explained what was wrong and did the procedure. He explained my aftercare in simple to understand language. I walked out of the office 45 minutes after I got there. I’ve been pain free since the day of the procedure and have been able to walk several miles at at a time with no problems. My highest recommendation! Thank you!

Incredible physician and staff
I have never left a doctors appointment feeling so good. Communication 100% from doctor, nurse and other staff. Bedside manner 200% For some reason I had a lot of anxiety going to this appointment and the entire staff were so comforting. Dr. McCloskey told me exactly what was going on and he was very patient with me and my neurotic anxiety. I have never wanted to recommend a doctor as much as I do with him. So thankful for him and his staff.

My child went to Dr McCloskey for a two majorly ingrown toenails and although the procedure was painful, Dr McCloskey had the best rapport with him and me. I highly recommend this physician. The pic is just afterward and my son was feeling no pain and thankful it was taken care of properly.

Terrible- does not deserve ANY stars! Waste of time In my opinion. This doctor is incompetent. He said I was too old and refused to treat me for common, and recognizable, foot ailments. (NOT THAT OLD) Claimed there was nothing he could do for me; yet there are many common therapeutics and protocols he is obviously ignorant of, or just too lazy to administer. In my opinion, this doctor is a hack that is bleeding medical insurance companies, and refusing to treat his patients. He spent all of ten minutes with me. Very course attitude and just a jerk!

Dr. Mccloskey needs to retire. He doesn’t explain or provide you any information on the presedure he will be performing. I wouldn’t ever recommend this doctor. I give him no stars.

I would never recommend this Doctor. Had a very bad experience with him. He ignored obvious signs of infection. He said a lot of things about other healthcare providers and made himself and office nurse look innocent. My advice. Don’t ever go to him.
